On a recent trip back to her hometown of Fort Wayne, Ind., LouAnn Olson visited the gravesite of John Chapman (1744-1845). Chapman, better known as Johnny Appleseed, was a pioneer nurseryman who introduced apple trees to large parts of the midwest and planted orchards to feed settlers moving west. Every September a festival is held in his honor in Fort Wayne.
